Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is one of the classic texts of historical sociology and will be welcomed by all students of modern state formation. Corrigan and Sayer's illuminating analysis of the development of the English state from the eleventh to the late nineteenth centuries profoundly challenges conventional wisdoms, showing that state formation is cultural revolution, and moral regulation is fundamental to state power.
Table of Contents
- "A remarkably centralized country" - state formation in Medieval England
- "This realm of England is an Empire" - the revolution of the 1530s

- mortall God enthroned - one bourgeois revolution (of many)
- from theatre to machine - "old curruption"
- "the working class question" - "Society" and society
